Live Software Releases JRun 2.0 For IIS And Netscape Servers.SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 1997-- With Multiple Java Virtual Machine A Java interpreter. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is software that converts the Java intermediate language (bytecode) into machine language and executes it. The original JVM came from the JavaSoft division of Sun. , Server And Platform Support, JRun Is Set To Become The Ubiquitous Java Servlet Runner Live Software Inc. announced the release of version 2.0 of its JRun product line for Microsoft's Internet Information Server See IIS. (World-Wide Web) Internet Information Server - (IIS) Microsoft's web server and FTP server for Windows NT. IIS is intended to meet the needs of a range of users: from workgroups and departments on a corporate intranet to ISPs hosting websites that receive and Netscape's Enterprise and FastTrack 3.0 servers for x86. JRun is a combination of native code and Java code that adds support for the Java Servlet API An extension to Java from Sun that provides a programming interface (API) for implementing server-side programs written in Java (Java servlets). See servlet. to these Web servers. This exciting new release leverages the technology from JRun version 1.0 and expands on the feature set and capabilities. This version of JRun offers the option of using either the Sun Java Virtual Machine or the Microsoft virtual machine The Java interpreter (Java Virtual Machine) that Microsoft customized for use with its Internet Explorer Web browser. Microsoft supported the product through 2007. See Java Virtual Machine and Java. for Java on either server. JRun for all platforms is available for commercial use at no cost. Java Servlets are platform-independent, server-side programs written using the Java Servlet API, part of the Java Platform. Java Servlets bring the power of "Write Once, Run Anywhere(TM)," Safe Network Delivery and Smart Card to Supercomputer scalability to server-side extensions. Traditional CGI CGI in full Common Gateway Interface. Specification by which a Web server passes data between itself and an application program. Typically, a Web user will make a request of the Web server, which in turn passes the request to a CGI application program. applications and extensions written in Perl, C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ or other languages can be replaced through the use of servlets. By using Servlets as an extensible, well-defined cross-platform environment, sophisticated applications for both client and server become easier to develop, faster to deploy and more cost-effective to maintain. By supporting a wide spectrum of Web servers, JRun assures the developer of complete cross-platform and cross-server compatibility, allowing development on one server/platform and deployment on another. "We are pleased to see today's announcement from Live Software," said Dr. Lew Tucker, director of developer relations at Sun Microsystems' JavaSoft division. "Live Software's JRun servlet engine for multiple platforms and virtual machines is a great step toward furthering Java's 'Write Once, Run Anywhere' promise. "Sun is fully committed to servlet A Java application that runs in a Web server or application server and provides server-side processing such as accessing a database and e-commerce transactions. Widely used for Web processing, servlets are designed to handle HTTP requests (get, post, etc. technology and is delighted to see Java servlet support on other server implementations and platforms." When high performance is required, the Microsoft virtual machine for Java provides the fastest implementation available. "We are pleased to see Live Software's commitment to the Microsoft virtual machine for Java as well as JRun's support for Internet Information Server. The compatibility, functionality and performance of our virtual machine and the ability to access the entire Win32 API makes the Windows platform an excellent choice for applications written using the Java programming language," said Tod Nielsen, general manager of developer relations at Microsoft. All versions of JRun 2.0 fully implement the Java Servlet API. In addition, JRun also implements many of the advanced features found in the Java Web Server A Web server from Sun that ran under Solaris and NT.
